How it all fits in:
Intro: Riff 1
Riff 1
She didn't wanna...
Riff 3
No one should come between us...
Riff 2
Still I was lonely...
Riff 1
Rat tat tat...
Riff 3
I'm a sister...
Riff 3 (Over and over again)
I am made of shamrocks...
Riff 1
And I said...
Riff 4
Mary's had a little lamb...
Well, you get the idea. After that, play Riff 1 faster and faster, then end
it with Riff 4.
